Architectural acoustics in the design process

Coordinated by professor Lygia Niemeyer. The challenges imposed by the application of the principles of environmental sustainability to the built space point to the need for research and development of methodologies for an integrated and multidisciplinary approach to the project. Among the issues emerging in the discussions related to the management of the design process is the definition of the scope of participation of the designers of the various specialties. It is worth noting the fact that the good performance of some disciplines - such as architectural acoustics - depends on their integration in the initial stages, to allow the compatibility of solutions throughout the design process. In Brazil, the classification of acoustics as a "complementary" discipline persists, despite the close link between the acoustic performance of the built space and its formal and constructive attributes. Preliminary decisions in the process of designing an architectural object - such as implantation, party, sectorization, volumetry and the relationship with the road network and the surrounding activities - have a strong impact on the acoustic environment, defining the sound of the building. The general objective of the research is to investigate methodologies for integrating the principles of acoustics into the design process, considering its interface with the formal and constructive attributes of the built space, as well as the compatibility with other disciplines.
